Thanks Mary I've now just watched it, very helpful. For anyone else here's the link to part 2 th-cam.com/video/nE6nogwtkn0M/w-d-xo.htmlary you might want to put the link in the comments box of part one if you haven't done it ready.Kind Regards . . .Andy
You explain this better than my instructor could explain it years back. It took me forever to understand this whole wheel for some redicioous reason but it's sunk in I carried my color wheel everywhere I went for probably about a year a long time ago..
Thank you Mary. Your video made the wheel so clear to me. I am just starting to venture into coloring books with coloring pencils and I just needed to know what colors to use with each other. I am purchasing a wheel ASAP! I see now how it works and how it helps. Thank you again.
Hi Mary, I ordered mine the other day and it arrived this morning. I am slightly colour blind but can tell if something is lighter or darker. This is an amazing tool I bought mine from eBay for under £2 I think it was. Luvs and Hugs xxxx
Thank you Mary I've had a color wheel alongside my work and occasionally looked at the color wheel but after your video I know how to use color wheel to expand my creative horizons thank you for the video.
Thank you Mary. I recently got into airbrushing and had some questions about the color wheel, which you helped me answer with your video. You made it very informative and extremely easy to follow. Thanks again.
Thank you so much mary! This helped me with my digital art on figuring out which colors I should use and which I shouldn't. Now my art looks much better!
Thank you Mary not only did I enjoy your colour wheel demo , very clear info , then I pressed your subscribe button and 999 went to 1,000 so pleased for you ! 💕
Thank you! I'm not a painter but your explanation of how to interpret the various areas of the color wheel [and I have this one] will help me with fabric choices.
Thank you for a helpful video. I've found if you've got the urge to paint but one or two paints have run out you can generally find a nice triad with the paint colours you have got using the colour wheel.
I think every painter should create their own colour wheel to understand things as saturation and percentages of paint needed to mix. The colours in paints are different hues and need practice to understand
That's a well.loved color wheel, that's awesome. Thanks for this video! I learned the color wheel back in grade school n bought one "recently" but haven't really used it as much cuz I completely forgot how to use it
I got colour wheel just cause of tonal values which you didn't comment on. I think, or practice, that painting is more about values then colours. But really cool video for someone starting. I had my share of experience with aquarelle. Would be cool if you make a video on values for some neewbies
Great Video! i was stuck on what color to paint my porch entry and kitchen, it is open concept kitchen ,dining living room and living room , living room is a ice coffee color and dining room is alittle darker coffee color, would like to change up the kitchen and dining room.. this video definitly helped thanks, i have alot to think about now! lol
I really understand the color wheel now, I crochet alot and was having a hard time of what colors go together. Your video help me really understand it. But would like to know where you got your color wheel from. It would help me to have it with me when shopping for yarn. Thank you.
Crystal Jamison Crystal, glad the video helped. You can purchase a color wheel at most any art store. Plus online, Blick.com, Amazon.com and apparently Michael's has a pocket size color wheel that might be perfect.
I just bought this same exact wheel and need help with the TETRAD combo...Thought for sure it was coming up at 3:30 into the video but nope! . The"Tetrad" combo is the most complex color combo of them all! Im just baffled as to why it's not mentioned and why/how not one other person commented about this before me 🤔🤔🤔 IMO Tetrad is the main reason to buy this thing.
I loved your tutorial! I'm into nail polish design and I want to learn more about how to use colors. Two questions- Where is the best place to get a color wheel?- Are all color wheels the same or do you need to ask for a specific kind?
sorry Mary but it didn't clarify the colour wheel for me as i have the same one. I guess i'm able to get the colours i want for painting, i read some comments about people using the wheel for other purposes like clothing, knitting, etc., so perhaps it is useful for that.
Hi Mary. I enjoyed your colour wheel explanation. Are you able to help me with this colour dilema I have. My dining chairs are navy. I have a print on the wall in brighter blue and a persimon orange. I would like to introduce a bright pink (Fusion Mineral Paint "CUREiously pink" on the hall table. Can you envision this colour combination in one large room and if it will be pleasing or jaring. Many thanks, Roz
Hi Mary thanks! I just added pastels to my toolbox and have been using colored pencils. I bought the exact wheel you are using off Amazon for $7 or so and I can see how it will help with blending and mixing in either medium. I've been guessing a lot off on another sheet of paper and it gets tedious.
Hi Mary, I have ordered a wheel. While waiting for it to arrive I have two questions..If I want a certain color, say salmon pink, can the wheel tell me what doses of the three primary colurs to use. Another question: why not just mix the primary colors in the right proportions to get any color instead of buying lots of individual color tubes ? Am I correct in saying that three tubes for the primary colors plus white plus black making 5 is really all I need. I intend to adopt acrylic. Thank you for your help. John, a keen beginner
After i saw this video, i saw another video called Color Wheel Tutorial - How To Mix Paint. That one shows how to use the primary colours to get a lot of other colours and is good for beginners who don't want to spend a lot of money on too many paints, but after you're an intermediate, you could buy the other colours or if you're going to do a lot of painting.
To answer your first question, the color wheel will get you close to your salmon color. It does not tell you what proportion of colors to mix to get salmon. When you begin mixing with say, red, yellow and white you will be close. From that point, you need to make informed decisions based on the color you see. Part of the fun of mixing colors is the nearly infinite variety of colors one can make. There are not nearly that many colors in tubes at the art store. A good beginning for paint mixing is the three primaries plus black and white, as you say. If you want a whole bunch more variety buy a warm and cool of each primary plus black and white. You can paint for a lifetime with just these 8 colors. Buying other colors in tubes is not only fun, but they often cannot be mixed using primaries. Hope this helps.
Suppose I am making brown colour and by mistake I am getting little Reddish tone and to correct that and to get my actual town which colour is to be added I need some guidance
I'm not sure exactly what your question is, but you can tone down red to make it a more brownish color by adding green. Experiment and you will find what you're looking for. Good luck!
This has been 6 years ago. This is very helpful for beginners like me. I am starting to paint. Where did you get that color wheel? Does it tell you what color combination makes a particular color?
Can you please explain how shades ,tones and tints of different colors go together For example can i put the tint(adding white) of red with the shade (adding black )of green or it has to be all shades, all tints ?specially in outfits and clothes
This is beautiful and the information I need. I am scheduled to film a topic on what 'not to wear' when filming for TH-cam and I will be touching on color and I would like to endorse your channel and this specific video if that's okay. Thanks, Mary!
Is there a tool that shows how to make other colors from what we already have? IE: How to mix sap green? Thanks for this! I'm just getting started painting, had purchased a color wheel but didn't know how to use it.
Not that I know of. You can get in the ballpark however by beginning with the color wheel and using the side that shows what colors are created when you mix them. Good luck!
Brown. Where is brown on the wheel? Ive seen this colour wheel in several videos but brown is always lacking. I know its made from mixing green with red, but would like to se the actual color presented on a wheel to see its relation to all other colours. Is there another wheel were brown is actually present?
You will see some browns on the wheel, i.e. a yellow and violet mix and in the red family. You might want to get a book on mixing colors, then you will be able to make any brown you'd like and see what looks good with that particular brown. Hope this helps.
I'll be using it for interior design. Do you just visualise and then write down colours you'll use it is there a way to get a selection in the wheel. If not this one on another one
I think it's best to have the color wheel in hand while choosing colors whether it's paint or fabric or nail polish. You can then choose whether to go the analogous route or complementary or split complementary, etc. Good luck!
nice explanation. Im pouring paint. Do i want to layer my colors in my cup in a complimentary order? So yellow, then violet, then red, then green for example
I don't think it really matters because I've heard plenty of artists talk about their paint order and they are "all over the map". What I've always heard is that whatever order you choose you should stick with it. Personally, I lay mine out left to right: white, yellows, reds, blues, burnt umber, black (optional)
@@jimdimitrios1 Don't stress about it. Just pick one and stick with it. There is nothing magical about my system or anyone's system for laying out paint. It's for convenience and familiarity. When you're painting you don't want to think about where a particular color is. You just want to be able to put your brush in it without thinking too much. Good luck!
Haha. Well, generally mud (which can be beautiful) is made by mixing several colors together. It's why teachers often tell their students to keep their palette simple. So, although the color wheel does not show what not to mix to make mud you can now avoid making mud by keeping your mixes simple, meaning two colors for starters. Once you can mix those without creating mud try adding a third color in small doses. That's the key!
Hi Mary I've got your note saying that you have put in the link (to part two) but I can't see the blue link in the comments box of part one of 'How to use the colour wheel' I would expect to see it under where it says Published on the 3 Dec 2013. Maybe you didn't save changes?Good Luck . . . Andy
I've had one for years and never used it either. But i was at an art supply store and decided to buy the same colour wheel as i thought it would help me, but i still couldn't understand head nor tails either!!! Since i just bought it not long ago i'm going to return it as it's not that cheap, i could spend the $10. + taxes towards the purchase of a paint or brush, can never have enough with acrylic as it dries so quickly compared to watercolour pans.
Mary, is red the darkest primary color? Is red violet the 1st darkest color in the color wheel? I have took art class before and I learned that violet is the darkest secondary color but is red the darkest primary color? Is red violet the darkest tertiary color?
I think it's subjective but I would say it's a toss up between red and blue on which can be considered darkest. I think blue would make the darkest value over red of the primaries. Since there are so many variations of paint colors, this is some that would be fun to experiment with.
I am leather finisher. sometimes the colour I make comes quite wrong and I just need to know what colour is to be added as a composite colour or if I come wrong in a colour wheel then which colour can give me the right direction to get my actual tone.
On one side of the color wheel there is a way to move the wheel to show what will happen to a color when you add another color. If you have the wheel in front of you, you will see what I am talking about. I hope you can get your hands on one. Hopefully this helps.
Thank you so much for clarity. I was having the toughest time figuring out which eyeshadow colors go together. This really helped me in my journey of becoming a makeup artist 👩🏾🎤 t
Awesome!
My wife just bought this color wheel today and we were confused about how to use it. Thank you for this great explanation Mary.
You're welcome!
Wonderful. Hope it's going well.
I have just bought this wheel in 2019 and wasn't sure how to use it - thank you for the clear explanation - a very clever tool indeed
You're very welcome. I have it on my painting table at all times.
Thanks Mary 5 years on and it's still good information that will help folks.Kind regards . . . Andy
That's very nice of you to say. Have you seen the Part 2 video that I just posted yesterday? It completes the lessons on the color wheel by covering value using the grayscale. Thanks very much!

Hi Kimmy I got mine from Amazon but you could get them from other online stores
Thanks for the help!
Thanks.🙂 I knew a little about the wheel from high school art class. However, I have never needed to use mine until now. Thanks for the refresher.👍🏽
You're welcome. Glad it was a good refresher!
Thank you Mary I've had a color wheel alongside my work and occasionally looked at the color wheel but after your video I know how to use color wheel to expand my creative horizons thank you for the video.

Thank you Mary. I recently got into airbrushing and had some questions about the color wheel, which you helped me answer with your video. You made it very informative and extremely easy to follow. Thanks again.
I'm so very happy that this helped. All the best with your airbrushing. Sounds fun!
You sound like one of my art professors when I went to college. Thanks, I learned something.
Glad to hear it. Thanks!

Thanks Mary, I've just gone an ordered one. Very useful tool so as not to waste paint and time for under $10 :)
You're welcome. :-)
Thank you for a helpful video. I've found if you've got the urge to paint but one or two paints have run out you can generally find a nice triad with the paint colours you have got using the colour wheel.
I like this. Experimenting is fun (for me) and the key to ultimately discovering what you're looking for. Keep exploring!
That's so good that you've discovered that. Good job!
Thank you, clear and to the point no run around. Thank you!
I'm only just learning about colours theory and this colour wheel is great, thanks for explaining it
You're welcome!
TY for sharing this . I find myself as a new painter looking at the Color Wheel more and more as I go on. Going to go look at your chan now . TY
You're welcome!
simple and straight to the point good job
I need to remember that for future videos! Thanks for your kind words.
Thank you Mary, I just bought the exact type of colour wheel. It really is a handy tool and I won't be with out it now 😍
You're very welcome, Coran.
I want to buy this one what's the name of this color weel please
I think every painter should create their own colour wheel to understand things as saturation and percentages of paint needed to mix. The colours in paints are different hues and need practice to understand
Thank you, Gavin. Totally agree. :-)
Thanks for explaining the color wheel. Great tutorial!💖

That's great!

Let me know if you have a specific question and I will try to help.
Another info you can get, the analogous can be used effectively to archive a good highlight starting from the darker and finishing with the brightest
Hi Mary. I enjoyed your colour wheel explanation. Are you able to help me with this colour dilema I have. My dining chairs are navy. I have a print on the wall in brighter blue and a persimon orange. I would like to introduce a bright pink (Fusion Mineral Paint "CUREiously pink" on the hall table. Can you envision this colour combination in one large room and if it will be pleasing or jaring. Many thanks, Roz
If you can put those three colors together in small swatches it will help you make a good decision. All the best with it!
Really useful, especially for those who about to start painting
Excellent. Hopefully it will be a long and wonderful journey.
Hi Mary thanks! I just added pastels to my toolbox and have been using colored pencils. I bought the exact wheel you are using off Amazon for $7 or so and I can see how it will help with blending and mixing in either medium.

Hi Mary I've got your note saying that you have put in the link (to part two) but I can't see the blue link in the comments box of part one of 'How to use the colour wheel' I would expect to see it under where it says Published on the 3 Dec 2013. Maybe you didn't save changes?Good Luck . . . Andy
OK, just posted it. Enjoy! And thanks for all your feedback. :-)
Great thanks
You're welcome.
Thank you so much. I've had a colour wheel (same as yours) for years and have never used it because I couldn't make heads or tails out of it ??!!
where do you buy this? i need a one. can you help ?
+Krish Udeshika I live in Canada. I bought mine at an art supply store.
I'm from sri lanka. So sad.. i couldnt buy it. Can you help me to buy it.. i can pay for it.can you.. how much is it
I've had one for years and never used it either. But i was at an art supply store and decided to buy the same colour wheel as i thought it would help me, but i still couldn't understand head nor tails either!!! Since i just bought it not long ago i'm going to return it as it's not that cheap, i could spend the $10. + taxes towards the purchase of a paint or brush, can never have enough with acrylic as it dries so quickly compared to watercolour pans.
Dick Blick, Michaels, any good art store.
Mary, is red the darkest primary color? Is red violet the 1st darkest color in the color wheel? I have took art class before and I learned that violet is the darkest secondary color but is red the darkest primary color? Is red violet the darkest tertiary color?
I think it's subjective but I would say it's a toss up between red and blue on which can be considered darkest. I think blue would make the darkest value over red of the primaries. Since there are so many variations of paint colors, this is some that would be fun to experiment with.
I am leather finisher. sometimes the colour I make comes quite wrong and I just need to know what colour is to be added as a composite colour or if I come wrong in a colour wheel then which colour can give me the right direction to get my actual tone.
On one side of the color wheel there is a way to move the wheel to show what will happen to a color when you add another color. If you have the wheel in front of you, you will see what I am talking about. I hope you can get your hands on one. Hopefully this helps.
It will come with practice. Keep mixing and trying different solutions before you work on large areas. Good luck!
